Blue Print Reading
This course presents an overview of methods used in presenting and interpreting a variety of industrial blueprints and schematics. Topics include: Multi-View Drawings, Line Usage, Title Blocks, Dimensions, Holes, Threads, Contours, and Angles. This program will provide participants with opportunities to gain an understanding of blueprint reading for application in the production environment.
Objectives:
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:

Visualize a three-dimensional part from a two-dimensional drawing.

View and interpret engineering prints

Know the 6 primary views of an object and select dimensions as they relate to various views

Use multi-view drawings

Identify various line types found on prints and understand line usage

Interpret information found in title blocks, tolerance blocks, change blocks and materials lists

Computer Numerical Control
Machining Center Programming
Using Torcam CNCez Simulation Software, featuring EIA/ISO standard G & M codes the student will learn the fundamentals of CNC Machining Center Programming. First time students will receive the book “The CNC Workshop” including a copy of the simulation software. This course will be taught exclusively on PC’s in a classroom setting.

Turning Center Programming
Using Torcam CNCez Simulation Software, featuring EIA/ISO standard G & M codes the student will learn the fundamentals of CNC Turning Center Programming. First time students will receive the book “The CNC Workshop” including a copy of the simulation software. This course will be taught exclusively on PC’s in a classroom setting.
Prerequisite: General Machining Practices

Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing
This course will provide you with the complete fundamentals of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing concepts as adopted by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). GD&T specifies requirements more precisely than conventional tolerancing, leaving no doubts as to the intended definition. This class will be customized for Engineers.
The attendees will:

Identify fundamental dimensioning rules and definitions

Recognize symbols, terms, design and drafting

Translate Datums

Introduce material condition symbols

Determine tolerances of form and profile

Determine Tolerances of orientation and runout

Verify location tolerances Parts I and II

Perform cases and exercises

Note: Participants are welcome to bring examples of current issues of concern.

ISOISO 9001:2000 – Internal Quality Auditing
This workshop is designed for the quality auditors of an ISO 9001:2000 registered organization. Emphasis will be placed on the principles if ISO 9001:2000 and auditing compliance to the ISO standard. Individuals will gain skills needed to plan, prepare, and perform internal quality audits. This training provides hands-on audit activities.

ISO 9001:2000 – Understanding the Process Approach
Participants will learn how to demonstrate and cascade the knowledge and use of the 8 quality management principles down through the organization and into the 4 core processes. ISO’s process approach model will help to understand the changes and additions that are now in clause 7 Product Realization.

This workshop is intended for personnel who will lead, direct, coordinate or participate in creating their quality management system as well as for personnel who have internal audit or training responsibilities.

ISO 9001:2000 — How to Transition (Max 8 Hours)
The new version of ISO 9001:2000 was created to provide more influence on customer satisfaction and process control.The application of a system of processes within an organization, together with the identification and interactions of these processes, and their management, can be referred to as the “process approach.” This transition class will provide the attendees with the knowledge to:

Learn how to demonstrate and cascade the knowledge and use of the eight quality management principles down through the organization

Learn the four core processes and ISO’s Process Approach Model

Define the nine requirements for top management and discuss implementation techniques

Understand the changes and additions that are now in clause seven, Product Realization

Determine an approach to meet the new requirement section 6.2.2, Competency an Awareness and Training. Receive the templates that you can modify back on the job.

ISO/TS 16949:2002 – How to Transition
Participants will review and understand further how to address new requirements, including documenting customer specified requirements, customer oriented processes (COPS) and the product realization processes. Review of modified and closely watched guidelines for certification and suggestions for performing internal audits will be addressed.

This workshop is intended for personnel who will lead, direct or coordinate in existing QS-9000 quality programs as well as personnel who have internal audit or training responsibilities.

Quality 101
This course covers the following:
This course provides an introduction to quality benefits and evolution, Total Quality Management, Process Management, quality tools and quality deployment.
Goals:
To provide participants with opportunities to focus on quality in terms of the individual’s job and the company.

Root Cause Analysis
This workshop covers the following:
This course introduces students to Root Cause Analysis.
Goals:
To provide participants with opportunities to identify the cause(s) of a problem and find ways to eliminate the cause(s) and prevent them from occurring again.

Objectives:
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:

5S
The 5S Philosophy focuses on effective work place organization and standardized work procedures. 5S simplifies your work environment, reduces waste and non-value activity while improving quality efficiency and safety. This workshop will provide participants with opportunities to plan and carryout a 5S event in their own work areas.
Objectives:
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:

Sort – separate out all things that are unnecessary and eliminate them

Statistical Process Control
Participants in this workshop will gain an understanding of SPC principles and basic concepts of stability and capability/performance. How to implement an SPC Program and how to interpret control charts will be covered.
